34. 4 & 6” lifts: BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM:
Photo #27
A) Fill master cylinder with D.O.T. approved brake fluid.
B) Pump the brake pedal and hold down. While the pedal is down, open the bleeder nut to release air
out of the system. Close or tighten nut, then let pedal up and re-pump. Continue the pumping/bleeding
process until fluid is being excreted out of the bleeder nut and/or until no air is being expelled.
C) Bleed each line (6” bleed front & rear; 4” bleed front). Make sure your master cylinder is full of brake
fluid after each bleeding process.
D) The brake pedal will not "pump up" or have excessive down-travel if all the air is out of the system.
F) It is the customer's responsibility to check brake line for any leaks, abrasion, proper clearances, and
brake line fittings after the first 100 miles and after every off-road activity.
FINAL NOTES:
• After installation is complete, double check that all nuts and bolts are tight. (Do not retighten nuts and
bolts where Thread Lock Compound was used.)
• If new tires are installed that are more than 10% taller than original tires, the speedometer must be
recalibrated for the rear wheel anti-lock brake system to function properly. Contact an authorized Ford
dealer for details on recalibration.
• With the vehicle on the floor, cycle steering full left & right turns. Inspect steering, suspension and driveline
systems for proper operation, tightness and adequate clearance. Recheck brake hose/fittings for
leaks. Be sure to check clearance between the front brakeline at the caliper and the shock.
• Have headlights readjusted to proper settings.
• Have a qualified alignment center realign front end to factory specifications.
• Re-torque all bolts after the first 100 miles. (Do not retighten nuts where Thread Lock Compound was
used.)
Seat Belts Save Lives, Please Wear Your Seat Belt.
Note: On models equipped with a carrier bearing on the rear driveshaft, it will be necessary to install
the supplied carrier bearing lowering bracket to help eliminate any driveline vibration. Install using
the supplied 7/16” bolts and washers. Bracket will mount between the carrier bearing and the factory
mount on the frame.
